In the following days, I made up for the work I had done during my absence, and Alex Thomas started looking for a job. However, while I was able to thrive, he encountered obstacles everywhere.

Two months passed, and he couldn't even find a job, so he couldn't help but call me and ask, "Crystal, even though we are divorced now, we once loved each other. Do you really want to kill us off?"

I knew exactly what Alex Thomas meant, so I smiled and said, "Why? I told everyone that we are divorced and we will not reconcile, and asked everyone not to give you an easy way out for my sake. Is this killing you?"
